Florian Duta was all in from middle position against Boris Kolev in the small blind.
Florian Duta: Q♣Q♥
Boris Kolev: J♦J♣
Duta was in great shape to double after the 6♦2♠8♦ flop, but the J♥ landed on the turn to give Kolev a big lead and the 3♥ river marked Duta's elimination in brutal fashion.
After Gustavo Oliveira three-bet from the small blind, Davidi Kitai, who opened on the button, stared at his opponent to analyze him. He eventually moved all in for 140,000, and Oliveira snap-called.
Davidi Kitai: A♦Q♥
Gustavo Oliveira: 9♥9♠
Oliveira hit a set directly on the flop 8♥9♣3♣, sending Kitai to the rail after the turn 5♦ and the river 10♠.
Alessio Di Cesare raised to 10,000 from middle position and was called by Benjamin Lebor in the cutoff, Hubert Matuszewski in the small blind, and Michal Hryncewicz in the big blind.
Action checked to Lebor on the 4♠8♠J♥ flop and he bet 22,000. Only Cesare called.
The dealer brought the A♣ on the turn and Cesare checked again — prompting a 49,000 bet from Lebor. This time Cesare folded and Lebor collected the pot.
